Everyone's Prayer

Everyone's Prayer
Let us all join hands and pray for eachother today.
Some of us are sick. Some of us have problems.
Some of us are married. some of us are not. but
we all go through rough times in this life.
Today - we will get together and bow our heads
before GOD. We thank you GOD for the blessings
you have given us. We know that you give us more
then what we deserve. We thank you too, for the
problems we have. They make us come and seek you.
Sometimes Disasters happen and we wonder - why.
If they happen some where else, we think that we are
safe. But when they happen close to home - we don't
know where to turn. Give us the wisdom, give us the
courage, give us the strength we need to help our sisters
and brothers.
We ask you to have mercy on the soildiers at WAR.
Have mercy on the ones in the hospital, the ones that
are bed ridden at home. Have mercy on the children
that are abused everyday, on the homeless person,
that dosen't have something to eat.
Have mercy on the people in jail and the ones in prison
too. Please JESUS help us not to JUDGE others, so that
we too - won't be JUDGED. Help us to be MERCIFUL of one
another. Help us to be a better person, then what we
were yesterday . AMEN....

Lucilla... this has to be the most honest-from-the-bottom-of-your-heart prayers I've ever heard. And it's true, we have a false sense of security when something horrible happens so far away. Never knowing it's just as likely to come very close to you. I hope you continue in this attitude - it's a rarity to find people that still think this way!
